She was greeted not by her broker but by three FBI agents. They told her they were investigating Miller, of South Park.

"My heart dropped because I knew my money -- I knew right away I had no money," Salandra said.

Just a month ago, Salandra, a hairdresser, got a statement from Miller that said her investments -- her life savings -- were worth $681,944.

But after the FBI showed up, she checked her account with Investors Capital Corporation, the company affiliated with Miller. They told her that account did not exist. Investors Capital said she did have an account with a different number and her balance was just $254.

"My heart sunk. I fear that I have no retirement money and it's going to kill me because I don't have any other money to live on when I retire. I have nothing," Salandra said.

She said two FBI agents interviewed her for more than an hour, but they could not tell her what happened to her money. The FBI declined to comment.

She has also gotten no answers from Investors Capital. The company also had no comment for Action News Investigates.

Investors Capital reported to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the agency that regulates brokers, that it discharged Miller on May 21. That's the day the FBI showed up at her office.

A day earlier, Investors Capital says it reported Miller to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company's general counsel sent Salandra a letter saying none of that -- but it did say Miller had terminated her affiliation with Investors Capital.

Reporter Paul Van Osdol: "How frustrating was that for you?"

Salandra: "Horrifically, horrifically. My whole life she had."

Action News Investigates went to Miller's office the day after the FBI showed up. It was locked up, the sign outside her door removed. Miller's Mercedes was still parked outside.

So we went to her home in South Park where we found her husband.

Van Osdol: "Wanted to see if we could speak to your wife about the FBI investigation?"

Miller: "My wife's in the hospital."

Miller said his wife was taken to UPMC Mercy hospital for a possible stroke after the FBI arrived at her office. She was released four days later.

Van Osdol: "Do you know why the FBI was at her office yesterday?"

Miller: "I don't have any of the details, none. It's a total shock, sad situation for a remarkably intelligent, wonderful person, obviously some problems existing."

Van Osdol: "Do you know what's happening with her clients' funds?"

Miller: "I know less than anybody."

Records obtained by Action News Investigates reveal Marcy Salandra is not the only Patricia Miller client worried about missing money.

According to FINRA, just two days before the the FBI showed up at Miller's office, a non-Investors Capital client alleged she misappropriated $80,000 he gave her in 2012.

Fraud expert Richard Sabo reviewed Salandra's statements. He was concerned about the statement showing $681,944 in her account had an Investors Capital logo but it was held in the name of KS Investment Partners at a PO box address.

"The fact that the investment company that was holding this money is a PO box in Pittsburgh, as opposed to some large national investment firm, was a red flag," Sabo said.

He could find no financial or corporate record of KS Investments.

"There's nothing about these people," Sabo said.

Salandra just wants to know what happened to her money.

"I have no idea where my future is now financially. As far as I'm concerned, looking at $254, when I'm not able to work anymore who's going to pay my bills?" she said.

Over the weekend, Patricia Miller was arrested and charged with wire fraud. According to court records, when the FBI came to her office, they found her slumped at her desk, unconscious, an apparent suicide attempt. They found a half-written note to her husband and sons, saying she had deceived them for 12 years and taken money from clients.

Miller had a court hearing scheduled Monday afternoon, but she did not show up. The Allegheny County Jail told prosecutors that she was medically unfit to appear in court.
